Eh !!! I would have thought we wanted to keep the newbies and returners and fill the ground

It tells us the coach picked the wrong team for the horrendous conditions and should have stacked the team with forwards Bain, Cozza, Vagana and Doyle on bench. It was a day for forward dominance…. And they had it. 3 hookers in 17 just didn’t work.

I agree with that, it's a shame Jermaine is out we've missed him and Thornley because we're not getting the meters out of our 20 that we would with them in the side. Unfortunately, Franco doesn't fill that requirement, and Walmsley seemed to spend more time slipping than making meters.

Its there for all to see, put pressure on wakey & they simply fail to win !
I m not knocking our coaches, our players still cannot deliver when faced with pressure ! Fact not Fiction.

It means we need to be better

That’s a strange take from that particular game!
The pitch and conditions were a real leveller and I wouldn’t be taking too much from that performance other than we need to be smarter in adverse weather than we were

I blame John Minniards Michael Carter and Mrk Applegarth, not to mention Richard Agars contribution

The last set we were involved in only needed another forward to run it up the middle…
A drop goal attempt wasn’t out of the question and at worst we would have had them on there own line…
We opted to run it wide…
Rubbish game management!

For the season ahead the halfbacks are a real concern for me

Would you be saying the same if Jowittt had kicked at least one of his goals?

So that's one game in dire conditions in the Cup we've now lost and you've come to that conclusion. It's expected from some Trinity fans to be a bit doom and gloom with the usual OTT opinions we get over the years after a loss. But after all this talk of a new start, new owner, new coach, and plenty of new players and all it's taken is a CC loss in crap conditions in overtime to bring this on, is a bit strong, even for the biggest doom and gloom merchant.

I said the same, we needed to be dominating down the middle at the moment not wide, especially as you say we would have been looking for the Drop goal, or getting a repeat set or at least them starting close to their line.

There were signs last week that the right edge was frail. That’s where we got targeted.

Griffin is not a centre anymore, Franco didn’t dare run it in on a few occasions which was poor. Personally I’d be bringing Thornley and Croft straight in next week.

The halfbacks were dissapointing today in the first half the way we ended sets was poor. Lawford would be back in for me.

Pitts was looking great at 13 but then hasn’t played there in 2 weeks.

Booth on bench was strange from the start.

Thought we were finishing the stronger of the two teams but for a misplaced pass and wrong option to take the game away.

Been saying that most of pre season. The right edge too loses a lot with Thornley and Mcgilvray out. I’m

On the plus side if we had to lose one this was the one. As mentioned game management was appalling as was team selection. Booth was a waste of a bench spot, was Cozza injured? We really could have done with that extra forward. As for the winning try, what the hell was Lino doing trying to throw that pass 30 meters out (on the 4th) in the face of an approaching defence? Too many poor performances from him in the last 2 years I've lost my patience with him I would go with Lawford next week.

I said from the start that with the terrible conditions and a shocking pitch today, that the team that made the errors at crucial times would loose, sadly it was Wakefield, poor passing decisions by our half’s today, especially Lino cost us. This was a gentle kick up the jackzy to remind us that we are not going to have it all our way this season. Well done Fev today, thaw out and move on to next Friday
